Pre-design
Lewis & Associates Architects will begin by engaging you in a thorough planning and programming process, which will address your immediate needs as well as your goals for the future. This phase is critical to the success of your project, as it will establish a foundation for all decisions to follow.
Design and Documentation
After your objectives are clearly identified and defined, LAA will work with you to develop a design that is efficient, practical, and maintainable. LAA will lead you through your building project in a linear fashion, providing you with information and creative solutions that guide you in making the right decisions at the right time. This collaborative process will yield a solution, which guarantees the longevity and ultimate success of your project.

LAA has successfully and favorably presented numerous projects to agencies, committees, and communities. LAA’s exceptional communication skills and our technological capabilities will be your greatest assets as you seek to build consensus for your project.
Bidding

Construction
Construction Administration will be carried out by the Project Architect who developed your project, which provides continuity of your objectives through the construction process, and maximizes accountability. Our reputation with change orders and schedule speaks for itself.
Sustainability
Buildings have an impact on the environment and the health and productivity of their inhabitants. At Lewis & Associates Architects, we are committed to an integrative design process which optimizes efficiency of building systems, and minimizes the effect of the building on it’s immediate and distant surroundings. Our building designs seek to optimize aspects of a building with observed impacts on occupants: lighting & daylighting, indoor air quality, and acoustical, visual and thermal comfort.
